This was pretty enjoyable I liked having to utilize different arms and than getting in a rush near the end to get enemies that get really close.

This is a really cool game! I love this take on a tower defense game and utilizing a lobbing skill to defeat enemies. Amazing work!
I like the shooting mechanic and having the tentacles be the towers. The art also looks great! I do wish there were health bars and a way to see what wave you are on. It does also encourage the player to use just one tentacle since you can just upgrade the cool down and use your fully upgraded one as soon as you shoot it. Overall great job!! :)
Really sick game. I love the lobbing mechanic. It works really well. I think the game concept is really cool. It has a lot of potential. The rounds are a little weird since sometimes there's no enemies then it doesn't go to the next level.
I didn't to an end but I got pretty far to fighting like 8 crabs which was kinda tough
Also realized that you can pan the camera with WASD which is funny
Solid game, I like the incremental aspect, and this has a lot of potential. The game itself is slow, and definitely can increase in difficulty. Maybe adding a flying enemy (like a fish?) would add more difficulty and engaging gameplay that complements the throwing mechanic. It seems that you can use WASD to move the camera but that is not explained in the description?
I like how you used the number of tentacles an octopus has as a progression system! Most octopus games really just have you control them all together but encouraging the player to use all is neat!
I liked the throwing mechanic; it’s really fun to play, and the game works well on both mobile and desktop.
I really like the mechanic you've created. The launching is very satisfying and works well. I also appreciate the numbers that show when you successfully hit an enemy. A progress bar for their health would give the player a better idea of how many hits they have to land to destroy them. Again, great shooting mechanic and pretty unique little game! Nice work!
